Every Movie I Make. That’s My Hideout,

When I See Something I Like, That's All That Counts. What They Use, How They Get There, I Never Bother Them.

My Father's Family Were Liquidated During The Cultural Revolution In China Because They Were Landowners. He Was The Only One To Escape. I Was Born And Brought Up In Taiwan. But You Absorb The Trauma. My Parents Had No Sense Of Security.

It's Just What I Am. When I Am In The Zone Making One Movie, I Just Didn't Want To Read Anything Else Or Do Anything Else, So I Don't Really Develop Projects.

I Am Not Particularly Religious. But I Think We Do Face The Question Of Where God Is, Why We Are Created And Where Does Life Go, Why We Exist. That Sort Of Thing. And It Is Very Hard To Talk About It These Days, Because It Cannot Be Proven. It Is Hard To Discuss It Rationally.

Many Times When You Make A Movie, It Feels Like Your Biggest Mistake. But Even If A Film Isn't A Hit, You Shouldn't View It As A Mistake.
